Define Your Bathroom Style With a New Bathtub
01/30/2009
Installing a new bathtub is a way to dramatically change the style of your bathroom. Bathtubs can take up a lot of room, so before you commit to one make sure it is something that is a necessity, or something you have room for. If it is not a necessity, consider installing a new freestanding shower instead and saving room for extra storage. Almost every type of tub can come as a whirlpool, so you have the option of further upgrading your bathroom into an at home spa! Whirlpools can come with water jets or air jets, both of which have pros and cons. Air jets are more expensive and a little bit louder than water jets, but provide a massage that most people agree is superior to that provided by water jets. A bathroom remodeler can help you choose between the two options.

The recessed tub is the most popular and affordable kind of bathtub. It is a simple tub, with one decorated outer side, and three sides attached to the surrounding walls. This tub is a space saver, because it fits into a compact space and only requires one outer wall. If you are trying to make the most out of a small space, you might want to consider a recessed tub. Often these tubs have shower heads attached to a wall, providing you with both a shower and a bathtub in one!
A drop-in tub is a tub that is built-into the floor or into a raised frame. This tub has no decorated outer walls because of the way it is positioned into the bathroom. Drop-in tubs require a bit more work to fit into the bathroom than recessed tubs or freestanding tubs, but give your bathroom a clutter free look.
Freestanding tubs are built with four legs and can be placed wherever you would like in a bathroom. These tubs do not rely on walls or frames to create the edges of their tub, so they make a good choice if you would like flexibility when designing your new bathroom. A popular style of freestanding tub is a refinished antique tub, often with claw feet. This tub would work well in your traditional style bathroom.
